Stranger than Fiction is a wonderful movie. Up there with It’s A Wonderful Life in my book. Thank you for posting the closing. Enjoy your day.
Dear ElleMay,
I appreciate your appreciation of my WATERMELON PICKLE poem. I’ve received many such comments over the years.
However, please correct the disturbing typo in your blogged reprint of the poem. Your line reads “Thick imperial slices.”
The poem’s actual line is “Thick, pink, imperial slices”
Extremely important to the rhythm and the imagery.
Thanks for your prompt correction.
John Tobias
